Pete and I window shopped for graphics cards today. We discovered even my tower at his place isn't completely up to snuff. Found a card for about $159, ti-8x 64 or 128MB. should treat us fine. If so, expect to be able to install both Never Winter Nights AND Asheron's Call 2 via Winex. But if not using Winex on the linux hdd, then would be able to switch over to win98, do the install and either play there or copy it back to linux hdd. we shall see. First order of business, order the card.

Got Asheron's Call 2 for Christmas. Posting the beginner's walk thru for reference. this game takes me back to last year when Dave K. was always so excited about his game. Today Dave is probably past Never Winter Nights too. I installed that but the graphics card of course doesn't cut it. Pete of course finished his first game weeks ago. Well I've been watching The Two Towers and I have some ideas. :::praying to the graphics card god:::::MicrosoftGamesInsider.com || AC2 || Guides || Guides-Walkthrough

My favorite memory is Tom suggesting I won't eat eclairs when I learn what's in them, and Tom and Kevin sharing powedered sugar french toast before an upstate new york event..Students of the former Hudson valley dojo give thanks to those we have known. As do I, though I never would have published even a cloudy photo. "Kevin Harrington - Shidoshi
Shidoshi Harrington was the primary instructor of Shidoshi Hildreth until his retirement from teaching in 1999. He began training in the early 1980's. He continues to be an inspiration to our dojo." Thanks to Matt Hildreth for the pics and thank you to Kevin for being you.

Tai Kai Contact Information By April 1, 2003 $995

Tai Kai Contact Information **Hatsumi Sensei has authorized us to allow several senior Bujinkan members to teach on Saturday night from 1900 - 2100. Clearly, we will not be able to allot a spot for every worthy person who would like to teach. Therefore, we will have a voting/lottery system set up to try to keep things fair. Decisions by the TaiKai organizers will be final, and the training will be $10.

Home Welcome to TaiKai 2003! Imagine...
Three days, three nights, right on the beach at the Jersey Shore. Just an hour south of New York City, just minutes north of Asbury Park—home of the Stone Pony and Bruce Springsteen. Sun, sand, sea. And Soke Masaaki Hatsumi!
This is a superb location for a TaiKai, and our goal is to create an atmosphere that helps us focus on what is important: the martial art of Masaaki Hatsumi and the spirit of BuYu (warrior friends).

For Cat Haters too

The Story of Comet, by Beth Lapp, Worcester, MA
THE STORY OF COMET
When Comet was abandoned on our property as a kitten, Paul and I were avowed cat-haters. We had no interest in owning a pet and a lifestyle that would prohibit doing so, anyway. During the first two days, we refused to feed or pay attention to her, hoping she would go away. She meowed and purred every time we went outside, escorted us to our cars, and helped dig holes in the garden while I planted. She even played keep-away with my niece and nephew, running back and forth and jumping in the air to catch the ball. When cute antics didn’t work, she planted herself outside our front door, and waited for us to change our minds.
After a couple of days, we started to worry that she would die from hunger and thirst. We agreed to feed and water her, but still wouldn’t let her in the house. Hoping to find her a home, we posted a large placard at the end of our street advertising her availability. We gave ourselves a week; if no one adopted her by then, we would take her to the local animal shelter.
Days passed with no inquiries. One night there was a terrible thunderstorm. I awoke in the middle of the night to find Paul sitting at the bedroom window, peaking out to see if the cat was all right. The next day, I came home from work to find a cardboard house, with windows and a door, on the front deck. The cat was curled up inside. Paul was somewhere in the house. I kept quiet.
Although we usually spend summer evenings on the back deck, drinking wine and looking out over the water, that night we dragged chairs onto the front deck and sat with the cat. And we prayed that we would find her a home. At 9 p.m., we went in, alone.
We were occupied in different rooms when, suddenly, Paul raced upstairs yelling, “Something’s got the cat! Something’s got the cat!” Not knowing what he was talking about, but never having seen him so upset, I quickly followed him.
When we opened the front door, it was eerily quiet. The cat was nowhere in sight, but there were entrails scattered across the deck and feces were splattered on the door of the car, which was parked nearby. Armed with flashlights, we searched in and out of the woods for about 30 minutes, calling for the cat that had no name. Finally, we gave up and sat down on the front steps. I burst into tears, and Paul, who was sure one of the local feral cats got her, ranted that he was going to shoot every one of them.
Suddenly, we heard a tiny mew. Then we heard it again. It seemed to be coming from above. When we looked up, we saw the cat, soaking wet, sitting on the rail of our upper side deck. We ran up the stairs, two steps at a time, and took her into our arms. She seemed scared, but otherwise fine. Without discussion, we took her into our home, bathed her, and never again talked of giving her away. We also never found out why she was wet or whose body parts stained our front deck.
We called her Comet, because she showed up on the same day as the comet Swift-Tuttle. Later we discovered she was very smart and more like a dog than a cat. But that’s another story.
